Ha, just answer me one thing, is the vulgarity gang a good thing or bad thing here ?
its a matter of perspective my friend.
Hey Kraken, At what point in lift does your bicep hurt during the military press? And is the pain near one of the bicep tendons?
I noticed that your MP figures are way below what you would expect from looking at your other figures (bench is looking fantastic btw) so it must be holding you back a lot

If you've ever snowballed a farm animal then it's a good thing and you're welcome aboard
yeah the mil press is a ****ty lift for me. The pain is where my bicep and shoulder meet. I get it on the clean and jerk sometimes too but not as bad.
Pain hits at the point where the weight is lowest when I start my lfit. Once I get the weight up a bit it subsides. i.e. when my upper arm is paralell to the floor.
the clean and jerk the pain kicks in on the second pull. But its milder.
Its weird that I don't get any pain on my pulling moves like the row and pull ups cuz those are supposed to stress your bi's more.
I'm no expert but if it's tendonitis of some kind (sounds like it might be) and the tendon is inflamed then the pain will come from it being squeezed by your shoulder when you move your shoulder in certain ways.
Have you tried ice and ibroprofen?
Rotator cuff problems are often felt as pains in the upper bicep

I haven't tried that. My hot tub will be open again in a few days so that may help.
Ya know, back when I was a noob working on that stupid ass machine I have thats when I did it. I hate that goddamn machine. It has its purpose but honestly now, I do like 3 moves with it. I'll never recommend a machine to anyone, all its good for is hurting yourself.
Going really low on the weight with the Mil press seems to keep it from aggravating so I'll progress slowly. Sorta like I did with the DL's.
dude, lol that bench press is sky high. good job.
it's probably in the long head of the biceps.

couple of links.
When it comes to treatment.. I don't know.. , don't overuse it, it should probably be kept in motion to induce some blood flow, though.. but definitely don't do anything that aggrevates it.
'Maybe get some anti inflammatory drugs.

Next time I see my doc I'll mention it to him, see what he thinks.

I have made some good progression on my deadlifts, now that I have form down properly. I'm taking it slow due to a back injury that some of you may know about. I'm sure I could get over 300 for a 1 rm but I don't want to push it.
I wish I had something to increase my weight on the good mornings. I have to lift the bar off the floor to get it into position. I don't have a squat rack. Perhaps that will be my next investment.

Things are looking good here. Did you see my pics of the squat rack I made? 2x4s bukets and cement. I've got pics attached to my Journal. might help?

you want a kick ass bicep iso try these things. Holy **** did they kick ass.
Overall I feel like I'm making some really good progression. I wonder if its from all the cals I'm taking in. I'm eating between 3400 and 3600 right now. I feel strong like bull so I just keep adding weight.
